          The author, who writes under the pen-name
        
        
          Harun Yahya, was born in Ankara in 1956. He
        
        
          studied arts at Istanbul's Mimar Sinan University,
        
        
          and philosophy at Istanbul University. Since the
        
        
          1980s, the author has published many books on
        
        
          political, faith-related and scientific issues. Greatly
        
        
          appreciated all around the world, these works
        
        
          have been instrumental in helping many to return their faith in Allah,
        
        
          and, in many others, to gain a deeper insight into their faith. Harun
        
        
          Yahya's books appeal to all kinds of readers, regardless of their age,
        
        
          race, or nationality, for they focus on one objective: to broaden the
        
        
          reader's perspective by encouraging him or her to think about a
        
        
          number of critical issues, such as the existence of Allah and His unity,
        
        
          and to live by the values He prescribed for them.
